Case ReportsImproved cognitive function after transcranial, light-emitting diode treatments in chronic, traumatic brain injury: two case reports.
Two chronic, traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases, where cognition improved following treatment with red and near-infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs), applied transcranially to forehead and scalp areas, are presented. ⋯ Transcranial LED may improve cognition, reduce costs in TBI treatment, and be applied at home. Controlled studies are warranted.
